Starting from size, age, and activeness, Spence Jr. will dwarf Pacquaio under umpteen parameters. Meanwhile, Pacquaio’s impeccable skills, fight IQ, and experience will back him up thoroughly. Though Spence Jr’s southpaw stance can play a pivotal role.
As Pacquiao hasn’t faced an elite-level southpaw in several years, ‘The Truth’ can offer an uncanny action inside the ring. This points towards a possible 50-50 clash, which can be sheerly intriguing to watch for the fans.
